I don't see any issue with the boards we have, personally. Could do with adding some sub-boards for Creative Media? (Music, Art, Photography, etc)
I don't know about anyone else, that's just my cup of tea.

Ducks right on about the CW boards, I don't even browse them but when I moderated I hated the arrangement.

As for General boards, I would like the system like this
- General Discussion: Serious discussion of whatever topic. Quality would kind of be determined by the OP. Obviously a discussion about school would be a little more casual than a discussion of South East Asian politics or whatever.
- Casual Discussion: Semi-serious, laid back discussion of whatever topic. Basically Fast Threads as it should be used, with a little more actual discussion.
- "Memetown": Not actually called that, but whatever sounds good. Basically a shitposting outlet, spiritual and public successor to ToL. Basically Fast Threads as it is currently used, see the current fan fiction thread.
- Media: Games, Music, Movies, TV, Books, what have you. Content derived, no sub forums.
- Hobbies: General hobbies, maybe a subforum for coding and that swanky nerd stuff.
- Gaming Communities: As is.

Also, if you want to make the forums more fun, basically loosen the restrictions in some place tighten on others. If you allow semi-shitposting in a board like I proposed, you NEED to crack down on derogatory remarks about users and especially entire social groups, otherwise it turns into a slugfest over dumb shit. I know pretty much all of the customers of Cloud Sixteen don't care - but you call this a business, and regardless of how others define that, if you take that to heart than I shouldn't be able to find posts and threads that are violently racist, sexist, homophobic, transphobic, the works. Make sure the manager (if you choose to appoint a new one) has a spine, and the moderators aren't lone wolves.

Could we also encourage people to post things they do in real life in the Hobbies area or have a subsection for that? I've considered a couple of times to start a biking thread but said meh when I finally wrote it out.
